After Tongjing and the others left, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office, which had been relatively harmonious, suddenly turned cold.

It has been a long time since Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo with such a cold gaze.

"Duanzo, why are you returning to the village in such a hurry? I didn't summon you to come back."

Not to be outdone, Danzo said coldly: "What's wrong, Sarutobi? After being the Hokage for all these years, do you even plan to dictate where I go?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other without flinching, "Why, as a ninja of the village, don't I have the right to give you orders?"

"Duanzo, you can only do what I want you to do."

"Do you understand?"

Danzo was a little surprised for a moment. He thought Sarutobi Hiruzen would be tough this time, but he didn't expect him to be so tough.

In the past, even if there was a conflict between the two, it would not reach this level.

Basic restraint is still there.

He suddenly smiled, "Sarutobi, are you a little anxious?"

"You're right. I really shouldn't go back to the village before the matter is finished."

Although he was humiliated by Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of Mito Gate, Danzo was in a better mood.

Shisui's matter alone would definitely not make Sarutobi lose his temper to such an extent. It seems that what he was doing touched Sarutobi's bottom line, so he lost his temper temporarily.

But doesn’t this mean that he is on the right track?

"Stop talking, I'll go to the front line, and you can just stay in the village."

After watching Danzo leave in a hurry surrounded by the roots, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and took a long puff of the pipe.

"Mito, tell me, how did Danzo and I get to this point?"

The information sent by the Anbu pointed to one thing without any objection.

——Danzo is coveting his position.

"It's just a Hokage position. Is it really that important?"

Watergate is speechless. You still don’t know whether it’s important or not?

……

Uchiha clan.

Seeing the familiar entrance to the clan, both Tongjing and Shisui's steps became a little brisk.

Tongjing didn't know what Shisui was thinking.

But Tongjing himself still misses that girl Uchiha Ruri.

Although she was just a maid sent by Setsuna at the beginning, as the time they spent together increased, the relationship between Tongjing and Ruri gradually deepened.

Moreover, the food on the battlefield is not much better. When compared with the food cooked by Liuli, the gap is even wider.

He also missed Liuli's craftsmanship.

"Shisui, where do you want to go first?"

Tongjing asked.

"Let's go see Sister Liuli first. We haven't seen her for two years. My changes will definitely shock her."

After experiencing the training of the battlefield, Shisui would only show some childishness when he was about to see Ruri.

After all, he had been taken care of by Liuli for a long time.

Tongjing asked strangely: "Why don't you go back to your home and take a look first?"

This kid doesn't seem to be such a blind person.

Shisui just touched the back of his head in confusion. There was no one at home, so what difference did it make if he went early or late.

Finally arrived at the door of Tongjing Mansion.

Compared with before I left, the door, which had been exposed to wind and rain for two years, looked a little more ancient.

Speaking of which, the village and Setsuna elders were competing to repair the front door of Tongjing's house.

Now Setsuna is dead, and so is the Uchiha Seitan who inherited his will.

But the mark left by the old tribe on the clan's land is still there.

When I opened the door, I saw that the yard was clean and tidy. Someone should be cleaning it from time to time, but there was no sign of Uchiha Ruri.

Tongjing was a little surprised: "This girl...could it be that she went home?"

Zhishui said: "I know where Sister Liuli lives. Do you want me to take you there?"

After Zhisui said this, Tongjing realized that he and Liuli had known each other for so long, and it seemed that he didn't even know where her home was.

He is really not a qualified master.

I heard that Liuli also has younger brothers and sisters at home. How about going to meet them today?

"Is Master Tongjing back?"

A somewhat honest voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Are you Shisui-chan? You've grown so tall!!"

Kirikyo and Shisui looked back and found that the person speaking was Uchiha Teyaki.

More than two years of war have passed, but he, who has been staying in the village, has not been affected much and seems to be in good condition.

Tong Jing nodded and said: "Yes, if I need to go back to the village for something, I will come over to visit the clan."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen did not specify the time for Kirikyo and Shisui to return to the battlefield, it was easy to know that they would not be able to stay at the rear for long.

The combat power of two Kage-level figures is enough to make the end of the three battles easier, and the casualties and consumption of Konoha will be less.

Of course, this was Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea.

For Danzo, he was eager to add trouble to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he wished that Kirikyo and the others would stay in the village and not leave, so that Konoha's battle damage would be even greater.

He would also be able to collect more unfavorable information about Sarutobi Hiruzen, and thus launch an attack on him at the post-war meeting, forcing him to step down as Hokage.

Zhisui asked: "Uncle Teyaki, do you know where Sister Liuli has gone?"

Uchiha Teyaki picked out a few good-looking sesame cakes from his own goods and stuffed them into the hands of Tongjing and Shisui, "Ruri, it should be with the patriarch's wife now."

"Previously, several family talkers came to see Mrs. Mikoto, and she also called Liuli over."

Tongjing frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"It is said that because of the bullying of the Inuzuka clan's children by the Hyuga clan, several prominent figures from the clan who stayed behind went to the clan leader's wife to confess their crimes."

Tong Jing was a little surprised. Wasn't the Third Hokage's speed a little too fast?

However, he reacted quickly.

The behavior of these families should not be due to the influence of three generations.

They were probably frightened when they heard that they and Shisui, two shadow-level warriors, had returned to the village, so they came to plead guilty.

But...why did Aunt Mikoto call Liuli over?

She is just a little maid.

With doubts in their hearts, Kirikyo and Shisui came to Uchiha Fugaku's house.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw the left-behind elders and core members of these families taking their wives or daughters to drink tea with Uchiha Mikoto in the yard.

Tongjing's little maid Uchiha Ruri was sitting next to Aunt Mikoto, looking worried.

After not seeing her for two years, this girl has become even more beautiful. Just taking a look at her from such a distance, you can feel her thrilling charm.

With her nimble appearance, among the women Tongkyo knew, Uchiha Ruri was indeed the most capable.

On the other side of Uchiha Mikoto was Uchiha Itachi with a serious look on his face.

He was almost three years old now, sitting next to his mother, trying hard to look like the heir of the Uchiha clan.

Soon people from various major families discovered the arrival of Tong Jing and Zhisui.

For a moment, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tong Jing.
